Lily what a beautiful human. I happened to be driving by this nail shop and decided to treat myself, even though I don't get manicure often and I'm so glad I did !! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcoming attitude that immediately put me at ease. Lily was incredibly friendly, professional and polite. I was also extremely impressed with how gentle, attentive, and took her time. Overall it was a wonderful experience. And I'll definitely be coming back. I highly recommend if you're looking for friendly, clean, and welcoming place to treat yoursel. read more

I ALWAYS have had a great experience with Lily (owner). She is very detail oriented and is very helpful when I have a hard time making color choices. She is very patient and kind. I have been going to her for the past few months now. I leave her salon with an extra pep in my step due to her beautiful work! read more

KC Nails has a new owner. A young woman, very charming and does a great job. I have never had any of the negative experiences described in these reviews. I have nothing negative to say about KC Nails. I will continue going there. read more

I went here just last week and the older lady was so aggressive on my toes & did a horrible job! Not to mention she cut me & didn't apologize!!! Had a nasty attitude the whole time and rushed when there wasn't 1 other person in the salon. This place has really went down hill the past few years. Won't be going back and definitely wouldn't recommend. The salon looks really filthy too, I should've walked away then read more

Never setting foot in this establishment again! Been here once before a few months ago -- got a full set of acrylics & the polish was fully peeling off within three days. Chalked it up to poor quality polish & kept going to my usual nail salon instead. Decided to try KC out again, and I deeply regret it now. Cindy claimed my old set was "too thick" to file down -- and in turn thought it was okay to pry each of my acrylics off with an unused nail tip. Not only is this wrong, but it's PAINFUL! It rips off multiple layers of your natural nail & leaves them thin, brittle & broken. I expressed discomfort with each nail until she got to my right thumb, when she pried the acrylic off so aggressively that it ripped down to my nail bed. It hurt a lot, and I audibly said OW! She apologized & put nail glue over the weak spot and then continued on. On my left hand, she got to the thumb nail and did the EXACT SAME THING. Ripped down to the nail bed so badly that my thumb nail is not only cracked, but bleeding! I told her I was uncomfortable with even getting my nails done by her & that she could clean up the nails, oil them & call it good. She kept apologizing, but I'm sorry, WHY would you remove acrylics this way in the first place? Take the time to grind them down! They weren't even that thick! You can't take the time to file them down correctly to avoid your client being in pain? Ridiculous! I was vocal the entire time about my pain & discomfort. I was in tears by the time she got to the second thumb nail & I had to sit there crying while she finished destroying my nails. But don't worry! She put nail oil on them! All is well! I would've left the second I was uncomfortable but my sister was getting her graduation nails and I wasn't going to leave her alone to get her nails effed up too. For those who like coming to KC, by all means continue. Just leaving this as a warning to anyone who's apprehensive. She offered for me to come back in a few days for a free full set, but this damage will take me weeks to repair and heal from -- and I don't feel comfortable ever coming back. read more

Amazing experience!!!! The location is close to my house, and since it's summer it's nice and cool inside. I went to get my birthday nails done and I was not disappointed. They turned out AMAZING!!! Highly recommend. The owner was extremely professional and knew exactly what she was doing. I have never seen anyone lay acrylic powder so perfectly before. 10/10 You gotta go here!!!! read more

I will say they do good work, but Cindy is very rude. She argued with me. She tried to yell at me and because I didn't like how she was doing my toenails she got mad and wiped them off when she wasn't supposed to be doing my toenails her husband was doing them, but some girl came in as a walk in and she wanted to change everything around. I really love how her husband does my toenails. He's really good at it. I've been there twice and the first time I got a pedicure and a manicure and my pedicure came off three of my toenails for no reason so I didn't go right back. I waited till it was time for a fill and then I went back and they didn't give me $10 off of my next pedicure. The first time I went to Cindy was looking at me weird when I walked in there and apparently I was wrong on the time because I had to reschedule and instead of it being at the same time I think it was at 11:30 but anyway I might've been in the wrong and I admitted that but she definitely has an attitude problem and after reading all the reviews and saying that she treats people pretty bad and that's how she treated me She was actually yelling at me while she was doing this young girls fingernails and the young girl was getting involved too because she's been there before it was ridiculous. I've never seen so much on professionalism in my life Cindy had an attitude with me and I'm just not somebody to take it on the customer and that's how you should treat people you shouldn't sit and argue with the people that put food on your table. That's ridiculous. But like I said, read her reviews and see how many people says she yells at them and she's rude. She actually has a really nice husband who does amazing work. read more

Cindy is my girl!. After bouncing around for a couple years when I first moved to Chico, I found this place and Its been my spot for about 4 years now. I almost always get pink and whites , and vary with my shapes and techniques. If you've ever gotten pink and whites you know it's a lengthy process. Cindy is SO quick, and always does a stellar job . I'm super lazy and rarely get fills on time, and these bad boys stick it out for the long haul. Her fills and backfills are seamless. On the average side when it comes to price but her work is worth more (don't tell her I said that). She also does her OWN NAILS. And they look great too. She recently got certified for microblading (SHE MICROBLADED HER OWN FREAKIN EYEBROWS PEOPLE) and what I've seen from her portfolio is great. I also trust her and know how attentive to detail she is, but if anyone has first hand experience for this service from her please reach out to me and let me know how it went because I am seriously considering going to her! *disclaimer the photo was taken about a week after I got them done read more

I'm from the Bay Area and it's hard to find good nail shops out here saw the good reviews and decide to give this place a try these are my real nails so I'm super upset that after paying my money and not even a week into me having my nails done one breaks then the other two and one slit so far up my finger still hurts my nails where long now I have to start over because this guy didn't do as good of a job as I thought I have lifting nails and chipping I thought they where kinda thin but also thought the guy Kenny knew what he was doing very upset I wouldn't recommend I wasted my money and my nails a jacked up and I have to cut remaining 7 off smh read more

I came in for a simple fill and paint color on my acrylic gel manicure. The man who did my manicure did an amazing job with the shaping and filing of my acrylics and even managed to file down a previous mistake from my last technician somewhere else. The care and focus that the staff gave my party was wonderful. But, unfortunately, after less than three days, my gel manicure has managed to chip and buff out in certain places. The set still has its shine! It just sucks that they chipped so early I had such high hopes. Will probably come back-- but just ask for an extra coat or two. read more

I'm pretty sure it's Cindy's daughter who answers the phone calls to take appointments... .and let me tell you she's such a rude BRAT. Idk how Cindy allows her daughter to act like that at her own business. I would've gave my daughter the boot a long time ago :) she's out here making a bad impression for her own mother smh :( read more

I went to KC Nails & Spa for the first time and I left extremely impressed and obsessed with my manicure and pedicure. I have tried multiple salons but I have never been as pampered as I was at this one. I did not make an appointment and arrived 45 minutes before closing time; I had to wait but it was worth it! When I arrived I was a little disappointed that they did not have the color I wanted but when I asked them if they were willing to mix polishes; they agreed which made it all better! We tried a couple of options until we found the perfect tone; both Kenny and Cindy were so polite and welcoming to the idea! I was worried that they wouldn't do a good job if I asked them to also give me a manicure after closing time but to my surprise, Cindy was extra detailed with my nails and with my massage. Even though I left the shop an hour and a half after the salon closed, I left obsessed with my nails! I totally recommend this place to everybody; you won't be sorry! read more

Fantastic experience every time I am in there :) As soon as you walk in the greet you and make sure you are well taken care of. They make sure when you leave, you leave 100% satisfied I have gone in there with my daughters for Mommy and daughter time and every time they take care of us like we were queens. Cindi is very creative with her art designs, find something you like on Pinterest and she will make sure its exactly like the picture, so you can come back every 2 weeks :) I appreciate all the love and dedication you put in when your doing my nails. Thank you read more

When someone requests a specific nail they should get them somewhat close! A simple star seems to be too hard for the tech to do. If you cannot do the nails that are wanted please let the client know beforehand. Nails are not cheap. I'm so disappointed that the nail tech argued that there was nothing wrong with them when it was obvious they were very sloppy. This place used to be great, it's sad what it's become. read more

My wife has been dozens of times and receives fabulous, friendly service. I have been twice for the pedis and have loved both experiences:) Our last trip we had a group of six getting full mani/pedis and was extremely luxurious! Dudes CAN get nails done. Its basically a foot massage for the same money and your nails get clipped, feet scrubbed and nails painted, if you want to! read more

I love my KC Nails. I love the owners. I love their family. And I have been coming to KC Nails faithfully for the past 4 years I've lived in Chico. Anytime I go anywhere else I am usually disappointed with the quality of my pedicure and customer service. I have never had a bad experience here. My toes are always pedicured to perfection just the way I like. My cuticles are cleaned properly which is so important in the overall appearance of the pedicure. The nail salon atmosphere is calm, quiet and relaxing. Their instruments are always sterilized. And their chairs and pedicure bowls are disinfected after every visit. Please come check out KC Nails and I hope you leave feeling just as fabulous as I do every time I visit. Thank you Kenny and Cindy for being amazing people and providing excellent service. read more

I went to the salon the other day. This was my 1st & my LAST time there Cindy did a great job on my mani BUT her husband did my pedi. By the next day I noticed some pain in my toe with redness & swelling! A few days later the pain & swelling had increased! I ended up in the ER with cellulitis & now I'm taking antibiotics for 10 days The ER Dr stated this can happen when instruments are NOT sterilized between clients!! If I could I would post a picture of my toe but it's pretty disgusting! Personally, I feel they should pay my ER bill & the $$ for antibiotics!! So BEWARE!!!! Jane read more

KC Nails & Spa - This is my infected toe!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chico, California

My first trip in was great. My nails were done really well. My second trip didn't go so well. The gentleman used a machine filing tool to shave off my gel manicure and it completely ruined my nails. It made them so thin that with two days my nails had torn or broken off. I was on vacation or I would have gone back in. It's been a few weeks now and I've had that gel manicure removed. My nails are so thin that when I run them under hot water it physicality hurts. I'm going to have to let them grow out completely before I can do anything with them. :( read more

I had the same experience as the other yelper. I called, they said come on in, and then made me wait 45 minutes. Very annoying. Marked them down for this. Even though all these places do it. Place itself is a step up from most nail places, despite the unfortunate Greek decor. They don't reuse files which is good. Seemed clean and organized. Could not figure out how to do a french gel manicure with a pink undertone. Not sure why that's hard. Expensive. 50 for a pedi and gel manicure, the latter which was polish only. People were nice. Work was fine. Might come back. read more

I came to this spa as a walk in appointment, and Cindy got me right in. Her daughter did a wonderful job on my gel pedi, and I really like the foot massage and scrub, as well as all the awesome colors to choose from. Cindy did an amazing job on my French mani, and it was exactly what I asked for. Absolutely gorgeous! Will be back soon! read more

They did a good job on my nails I will give them that. HOWEVER, I called them two times asking if they used IBD builder gel for full sets without any powder and they said yes. They quoted me 25 dollars and I tried to come in at certain time and they said they were to busy so I came in a little later and asked if I could soak my nails in acetone while I wait so we do not waste any time because I had shellac on them they said yes but did not give me any. They finally call me back and the guy tries to take off my nails like I had on acrylic even though I told him twice that it was just shellac finally a piece of the shellac peals off and he realizes that it is in fact shellac. He then goes and soaks my nails. This could have all been done when I first walked in and saved us 45 minutes. Then onto the IBD part, their IBD is a powder that they mix with a liquid!! After I told them specifically that I did not want any powder I just wanted all gel. They said they knew what I was talking about but they did not have it, even though they did tell me twice on the phone that they did have it. So they had to do my nails in a way that was not by my request but it did turn out nice so I am going to come back. If I find that they service is better and the work the same I will rereview. read more

My second review of this establishment- again they go out of their way with their kindness, consideration and generosity. My mom, who has Parkinson's and other physical health issues, arrived just as they were closing but they ushered her in, took care of her and wouldn't even let her pay. She was so appreciative of the way they treated her and so grateful to be so well taken care of. Thank you Cindy & Ken! read more

Went here for a drop in appointment for a fresh set before school starts. I should have known when my nail broke during the final sage of shaping that these puppies would pop right off. And I was right. I got tapered square and 3 days later my pointer and pinky nail popped right off where they apply the fake nail tip and just now my middle one just popped off while TYING MY SHOE. Disappointed since this place has high reviews yet still got lower quality service for most likely being a walk-in. I'll be sticking with my hometown nail artist all the way in Sac if this is how nails are done here. read more

Extremely disappointed in this nails salon. Scheduled an appointment for 6, showed up on time and had to wait until 6:20 to start it. Then was completely rushed because two WALK-INS showed up and they wanted to finish them before the salon closed. My nails still look like they need a fill and THEN the owner tells their daughter in high school to finish painting my nails, she did the layers so thick they didn't finish curing so they all started to peeling and bubble later that night and there's polish everywhere and on the thumb they painted on my cuticle. read more

I had a great experience at this salon! I came in around 530 on a friday after a very long work week. I usually have a cardinal rule of avoiding shops if its 2 hours or sooner to their close time just to be polite. I had a long week and needed a"treat yourself" moment so I stopped by for a gel manicure. I had a great experience and love my mani. The staff was very attentive and quickly attended to 4 different clients and made sure each of us was satisfied with our service. Overall amazing manicure by Cindy and I'll definitely be back for another. read more

I made an appt for 6pm on Friday because yet again, I need to switch up my nail place. I'm super picky about acrylics, gels, and nails in general so I decided to give KC nails a shot. I've only been once this far but I'm obsessed! This salon does not cut corners in doing nails, and that I appreciate so much. I was in there for a little over an hour, and my acrylics are exactly how I want them to be when I leave a nail salon. Applied with care, shaped well, polished carefully, and she even cut my nails down before she put the tips on-- SO THEY DONT PEAL UP. Why has no one ever done this?! Genius. I will 100% be back for a fill in a few weeks!! read more

So friendly and really took her time with my set. I got a fill for a set originally from Angels (which was thick and crooked) and she completely renovated them!

KC Nails & Spa - Full set - Nail Salons Near Me - Chico, California

Okayyyyy so where has this place been hiding because I LOVEEEEEEE my nails. I received so many compliments on them especially while they change colors. They have so many mood changing colors and they have all the latest new things for nails like hologram, glow in the dark, etc. When I went I only waited about 5 minutes for a walk in but there's only 2 people doing nails so I would make an appointment next time. No matter what the wait is, it's worth it!!! I've had nail shops take 2 hours just for my nails to break the next day but KC nails took 30-45 minutes for removal of old nails and a full set of nails (and I even have them longer than I usually get so I'm surprised they haven't broke yet). The prices are very reasonable. They also have pictures of their work so if you're skeptical about them doing something they can reassure you with pics of what they've already done. I'm speechless because I've been waiting for a place in Chico to keep up with the latest nail styles. They have what you want it's up to you to get your nails done at KC! ****UPDATE**** within 7 days I have had 6 nails break! I got 3 fixed for an additional $10 and then 3 more broke on the other hand on the same day. Literally from nothing hitting them. Gave a $15 tip the first time but I should've kept that for all the times I'd have to get the nails fixed! Taking the nails off and probably won't be back! If you get short nails this might not be as big of a problem for you read more
